Groups

Azure AD can manage Groups of various types, each with a specific purpose in mind.

• Microsoft 365 Groups are used for collaboration between users, both inside and outside your company. They include collaboration services such as SharePoint and Planner.
• Distribution groups are used for sending email notifications to a group of people.
• Security groups are used for granting access to resources such as SharePoint sites.
• Mail-enabled security groups are used for granting access to resources such as SharePoint, and emailing notifications to those users.
• Shared mailboxes are used when multiple people need access to the same mailbox, such as a company information or support email address.
• Dynamic distribution groups are created to expedite the mass sending of email messages and other information within an organization.
